I say 04 STi JBP. It’ll get you laid faster, girls like the sparkles in the paint 😉

I’m a Subaru person obviously. With that being said, it’s no where near the power platform that an Evo is…

Stock turbo, stock block, pump, 11.2x what??

Yea… We all know who I’m talking about… You won’t do that with an STi…

thats possibly because:

#1.) the evo’s stock turbo is considered an upgrade to the sti’s pint sized pea shooter.

#2.) the 4g63 wont blow the fuck up when adding more boost than stock like the EJ257…

#3.) the fastest stock turbo sti has gone 11.71 but on c16… as a side note we have the worlds 30th fastest stock turbo sti owner on these boards with jays05 with a 12.48 @ 108 at lvd on pump and a splash of race on top of it… (he figured 95 octane…). (obviously has gone 10’s with the 35r…)

#4.) the ej257 motor is a relatively new experiment. it was implemented for the 2004 sti… the 4g63 motor came around in what… 1989/1990? little more development time for parts and to “perfect” something than the shit design of the ej…

#5.) most evo’s running low 11’s stock turbo are 5 speeds… ALL sti’s are 6speed… trust me when i say that extra shift is a true bitch… needing to shift to 5th (an overdrive gear) in a 1/4 mile doesnt exactly help drag times.

thank you, have a good day.

All very true.

I gotta laugh at all the “STi’s suck” statements when a couple years ago some of the same people I didn’t even know used to chase me down to see/talk to me about my car 😉
